THE Irish 'outrages' are playing pre-
cisely the same part in British politics to
day which the southern Outrages for some
years played in American politics They
furnish precisely the same kind of reason
for keeping the tories in power which
the southern outrages used to furnish for
keeping the republicans in power What
the tories have done or can or will do to
prevent outrages in ireland. does not ap-
pear any more than the republicans did
or could do to prevent outraoes at the
south. The tories. therefore ask to be
kept 10 power as sign that EnglishN
men abhor outrsges Just as the republi
cans asked to be kept in power, as sign
that the northern people sbhorred out
RACES. The air in England is full, too.
OF terrible stories of what the Irish would
do it they were let alone in the way of
plots against the empire, and schemes for
the persecution of minorities, Just as the
air here used To be full of stories
about the capers the ex-rebels would cut
if the republican party went out of pow
er. Moreover. large portion of the
Irish outrages are reported in the form
Of anecdotes. as Mr. Gladstone said,
instead of statistics. Just rs the southern
outrages here were largely stories sent
to the newspapers In England, too the
names of the victims of the outra.es and
of the localities IN which they occurred,
are frequently withheld in order to pre-
vent fresh and more dreadful cruelties. In
like manner, the names of the au-
thors of the southern ''stories'
were withheld. lest they should be
made to suffer for hlabbing. In both cases
undoubtedly there were and are outr&ges
but once outrages get l1lo party politics 1t
is folly to prefer one party over another CD
account of them. IT it once be made
clearly to appear that capital can be made
out OF them the supply becomes nntlmit-
ed, and any attempt to distinguish the
real from the sham becomes useless. In
one Of the recent debates in the house of
commons no less person than the Irish
attorney general by the way of showing
the tlmidity or unfairness of Irish juries,
told of one jury's acquitting moon
lighter on the spot. though he offered no
evidence In his defence. 1t turned out
on inquiry that the Judge had directed an
scquittal, owing 10 the nothingness of
the case for the prosecution, without
calling on the prisoners council to pro
duce his Witnesses.

VERMONT is so one~sIded in pcliuCs
that the republicans have repeatedly
elected every member Of The state senate
and we believe that during the war per
iod a Legislature WAS chosen which did
not contain Il single democrat. The leg
islature which has lately adjourned in
Delaware was equally one-sided the Other
way, every member of each branch being
a democrat Most of It's work possessed
no interest outside the little common,
wealth, but the passage of registration
law based upon the New York model is
significant as another and striking il.
